More than a "happy" Birthday!

Remember that all worlds draw to an end and that noble death is a treasure which no one is too poor to buy” ― C.S. Lewis, The Chronicles of Narnia …



My sister’s one year more and
thinking - she is still “doing”,
growing bolder, ... flowing sand
through hour-glass.. ensuing


years will show their full reaping
(from the seed that has been sown)
of a new crop, that’s heaping
even more; no seed’s alone

in death - if God sent it - He
brings his deeper-life up more.
First, the loss of “seed-I.D.”,
then, a crop of grain in store.

As a daughter of the Lord
Jesus who has been Christened
Second Adam, in a word
Lord - of the new creation:


you’ve started on the journey
to completely lose yourself
don’t give up now & “turn in”.
This marathon’s not for wealth!


Not for wealth of this old life.
It's his currency we spend
in the sight of Christ, whose wife
we will all be in the end!
Trust his health not to stifle
love growing in us; to send..

 .. to send his light of hesed  
(loving-kindness, loyal love)
through us to a world that’s dead,
flowing to them “from above”,

.. and to send it deeper in
to these selves, that we might be
conduits of this new begin-
-ing (daily from old-self freed).



C.S. Lewis, The Chronicles of Narnia …, in The Last Battle, as he dies Roonwit the centaur reminds the king:  “Remember that all worlds draw to an end and that noble death is a treasure which no one is too poor to buy.”
